FORT WORTH, Texas — The man who authorities said escaped law enforcement custody May 12 by stabbing a bus driver after getting out of his shackles is now suspected of murdering five people, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice announced.
TDCJ said law enforcement received a call from an individual who became concerned after not hearing from an elderly relative in Leon County and that when officers responded they found the bodies of two adults and three children.
Gonzalo Artemio Lopez, 46, “assaulted a correctional officer on a transport bus, and then fled from the vehicle” on May 12, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He’s suspect of these slayings now, too.
